CHAPTER FIVE

The Bride’s Betrayal

In the next two days, Eric behaved exactly the same, and Delyse was getting tired of it. She couldn’t have a normal conversation with him, he never asked her if she’d like to attend the meetings he had with Viggo, Astrid, and Finn, and he never spent more than one or two hours with her. And in those hours, they had sex. It was usually hard, fast, no questions asked. Questions such as: “Is this okay?”, “Do you feel like it?”, “What do you like?”, or “What do you want to do?” She didn’t feel like she was his bride, and she certainly didn’t feel like she was part of the clan. Sore, angry, and frustrated, she spent most of her time in her room, in bed. The sex was good, she couldn’t complain about that, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t have appreciated a break, or wouldn’t have liked to be on top for once. But every time she tried to engage him in a normal, perfectly harmless conversation, Eric bailed on her. He turned his back, got out of bed, threw his clothes on, and stormed out of the room. Like he was afraid to see her as more than a woman he enjoyed fucking… Like he was afraid to let her in.

The third day, Eric came to wake her up early in the morning, a thing which he had never done before. At first, Delyse was excited at the small change in their daily routine, thinking it was a good sign. Then, Eric told her he had only come to say goodbye because he was leaving for London.

Astrid was the one who told her later that he had actually scheduled a meeting with Arthur Harington, Blake Sylfur, and Max Blackmane to discuss the possibility of bringing her father’s research back into the attention of the Council. Delyse listened to her patiently, but the truth was that she was boiling with anger. This whole thing concerned her just as much as it concerned Eric and Clan Drekinn. She didn’t like being left out.

With Eric gone for two days, Delyse finally decided to get out of the room and the palace. It was freezing cold although it was a pleasant, sunny day. She put on as many clothes as it was comfortable, then wrapped herself in a long, heavy fur coat, and went for a walk through the gardens. The fresh air invigorated her, and the beautiful landscape distracted her from her dark thoughts, just as she had hoped it would. “I should really get out of the palace more often,” she thought. But with Eric claiming her body every time he set eyes on her, she was usually too wiped to even imagine how her muscles would feel if she walked a distance longer than the distance between her bed and the bathroom.

Delyse stopped in front of a bench, but instead of sitting down, she took her hands out of her pockets and stretched her arms sideways, then above her head.
